It’s because they get $$$$ for every reported case?
On June 12, 2020, FDA granted an amendment to the Emergency Use Authorization for the CDC diagnostic test for COVID 19 to address global shortages of materials needed to perform the test. This amendment provides alternatives for processing the test:
Four additional extraction reagents that can be used in the existing extraction methods
An additional extraction instrument and associated reagents
A new process that can be used in place of the extraction method when materials for the current method are limited
The CDC memo on the subject can be found here: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/lab/virus-requests.html
My question is: Could this change in testing procedure have influenced the change in the number of positive cases reported after the date of the change? Reported cases began increasing in the middle of June, but fatalities did not show much change until very recently.
Secondly, how does the data on sensitivity and specificity compare between the recently approved changes and the prior procedure?

I wonder if these are the same districts that vote 100% democrat?
As more and more people become aware that we are in full election campaign, the media steps up the hype about cv19, so as to cast all the blame on Trump.
Probably the same thing happening in AZ.
SEIU and Teachers Union
WE ARE ALL GOING TO D.I.E.!!!!!!
A-Holes!
They can shove my mask.
its being done on purpose
no question
to justify more lockdowns
to justify more money for hospitals as they get paid more for covid cases
to give politician dictators cover to enact unconstitutional restrictions on people and business
to push bs crap like healthy people must wear masks
to push garbage plans to run schools like g-d prisons and get kids conditioned to being under total surveillance by “authority” and not fight back
to keep up pressure on people and encourafe stasi snitching in people through govt hotlines
orwellian
fight back
be ready
The only thing that EVER counts is death.
New York: 32,461 deaths
Florida: 4,409 deaths
They may have reported 100% ‘positive’ results.
They did NOT do it in error.
they still havent revealed who else on the rockets has covid..so the rumor of James Harden is probably true.
barnes says he is primarily asymptomatic..not sure what that means
Shows how pervasive the deep state seditionists are
No, Desantis absolutely did NOT “call for states to open up.”
And I know dozens of people who have been tested and none tested positive. Not one.
“wildly high figures with one of them announcing that their report of 98% positive results should have in fact been only 9.4%.”
Headline news on CNN tonight!
HaHa

Just shift one little decimal point and have your cases increase by a factor of ten. brilliant!
Did they report the actual number of positives incorrectly, or just the rates? I didn’t see that mentioned inthe article or in the tv station’s report.
The Orlando Slantinel was deporting 98%! Got called out and, oops, was sposta be something like 6%?!
